It isn't the present moment statement that is destroying your intention, it is your belief, you don't believe you have that money right now, so there is no alignment.

no, this is incorrect - it isn't that you must feel good about it or be happy, these feelings are a natural consequence of being in alignment. When you are aligned, you cannot feel otherwise.

well, you could do this and sssssllllllloooooowwwwwlllllyyyyy inch your way into the manifestation, or you can examine your beliefs, change them and instantly manifest.

this is wishful thinking and doesn't really help the manifestation process. It won't hurt it, but it won't allow it either.

Yes this is truth. You are also contradicting yourself and what you said before.
you said:
"but if I said "I have a lot of money" I would immediately think "No I have not obviously" and that would destroy my intention."
and I said above:
"It isn't the present moment statement that is destroying your intention, it is your belief, you don't believe you have that money right now, so there is no alignment."
you know the truth - and that is that everything you desire already exists, so you should always always use the present tense when thinking, visualizing, or talking about your desires. It exists NOW for you, it is there, you just haven't allowed it yet. You allow by accepting it is there NOW.

no, the point is to change your beliefs about it so you can align and accept your natural state of feeling good. This is where some trip up, you don't just try to change your thoughts about a subject, they will just come back - you have to go to the source of the thoughts - your belief system.

I mean, you should imagine you already have it, and feel you have it, but you don't need to think you have it. Intending is not about convincing yourself your reality is not the reality you're living in. It's about developing a good feeling for someting in order to invite it into your life. |
the feelings you have about anything have no causal effect - they create nothing. They are a signal to you about your alignment (beliefs aligned with desired state of being) by paying attention, we can align ourselves and perceive the desired manifestations.
